Reply to comment by Putrid-Might-8839 in moving to VT, asking for advice on locations. I have a family of 4 with a 13 year old and 17 year old. by Putrid-Might-8839

As someone who has moved from VT but lived there for 29 years, housing is going to be the big hurdle and is quite expensive, also most of the state is very rural, chittenden county where Burlington is located can be quite pricey, but if you are looking for something besides just nature for the children then that is the area you would want. Or down near the southern part of the state. I wouldn't recommend the NEK even though rent can be a bit cheaper.

We lived in the NEK for 3 years. Populated by morons with guns, Karens and more trumpanzees than you ever thought possible. A lot of people there are unhappy, have reason to be, but keep voting for Rs when Vermont has clearly gone progressive with supermajorities in each house, thankfully, but that just makes them madder. Rural VT is dying, slowly, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it and probably shouldn’t, anyway. The utter imbecilic resistance to change of any kind is astonishing. Education is important, but if you are utterly opposed to it there’s nothing anyone can do to improve lives until the offending generation and demographic has succumbed to Darwinian evolution or just plain died off.

God you put this so beautifully, I could have never described it better and I lived there for six months myself.
